I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.

      I’ve said it on this sub so many times and there’s been a lot of agreement, but Normal People was the worst book I’ve ever read. I don’t burn books but if I did I’d burn that! It was a waste of time. Also hate how she thinks she’s above using punctuation.
